On October 8, having celebrated a decade of friendship, footballers beat the driver of Channel One host Olga Ushakova, and attacked coffeehouse visitors, beating Denis Pak, the director of the Minpromtorg department, and head of the NAMI science center Sergey Gaysin.

It is reported that Kokorin and Mamayev are suspected of committing a crime under part 2 of Article 213 of the Criminal Code (Hooliganism committed by a group of persons in a preliminary conspiracy). Footballers face up to seven years in prison.

Kokorin had repeatedly been brought to administrative responsibility, including for violation of traffic rules. Today, a measure of restraint will be chosen.
